December 23rd Band Date

[annjones 3]

Of course anyone can post here but I thought it would be cool to start a thread for my band date buddies.

I'm so excited. I start my liquid pre op diet 2 days before surgery and tomorrow I get my pre op blood work done.

I've been testing different Protein Shakes and of course charting what I've been eating for the past month. Plus I'm on the end stage of stopping smoking and the doc said no hormone pills 2 weeks prior to surgery.

So as you can guess I'm pretty gritchy. I think I'm going to ask for something to take the edge off because if not I might run all my friends away, drive my girlfriend nuts and kill my pets. Going through early menapause (at 35) put me on hormones to level things out.

Anyway, I've decided to try a strawberry Protein powder with strawberry yogurt this morning. I did a chocolate one with SF Chocolate pudding and it was most yummy.

Guess I'm rambling on.

Tomorrow is the B Day! I'm scared and nervous and way excited. My doc only requires 2 days liquid diet but mine started on the day of a family holiday party.

There was tons of good smelling food but I stuck to it. Everyone there is very excited for me and offered me tons of support.

And I finally found a Trader Joe's! Cool store, much like Whole Foods. I stocked up on stuff and *big nervous sigh* I'm ready to go.

Good Luck to all who are being banded today and this week!
